Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic novel Chapter 648

Chapter 648: Chapter 298: The Weakest Department, Hypokalemia

As for specifically mentioning Director Mu’s recommendation, it was merely to avoid being rejected by Li Jingsheng.

"Alright, I’ll be right over!"

Li Jingsheng agreed surprisingly readily.

He never declined when it came to saving critical patients.

Even when his medical skills were rather weak at the First Hospital, as long as there was a rescue needed and he was present, he would definitely contribute by running errands.

The senior doctors were aware of his mediocre skills, and although they couldn’t bear to reject his enthusiasm, they only dared to let him ’cheer from the sidelines’ and play minor roles.

No senior doctor dared to let him undertake any critical hands-on tasks.

It’s true that his skills were not high, but he could handle adjusting the ventilator or performing external cardiac massage.

Tasks like taking an ECG or measuring blood pressure were not even worth mentioning.

These were his routine duties.

It seemed to be the first time that he was invited by a departmental chief physician to participate in a consultation for a severe patient.

As long as he could be of help, he was more than willing to provide any support he could.

"Dr. Chen, Teacher Li, please have the waiting patients wait a little longer, I’m going to the Endocrinology Department for a consultation and will be back soon."

Li Jingsheng instructed the two to explain and reassure the patients.

This is a downside of being an outpatient doctor.

When there’s an emergency, the patients being handled must be properly dealt with.

It’s somewhat like a bus breaking down halfway; you can’t just leave the passengers stranded.

The most common solution is to arrange for passengers to board the next bus.

When an outpatient doctor has an emergency, they can distribute the remaining patients to other outpatient doctors.

Everyone knows each other within the same department.

Sending patients over, others can understand.

But Li Jingsheng’s situation was unique, as only he or Doctor Xu could handle his patients. Other outpatient doctors simply didn’t have the ability.

Now, with Doctor Xu still hospitalized and unable to work, Li Jingsheng had to manage his patients himself.

Fortunately, this time he was going to participate in an emergency consultation in another department, and the medical department staff shouldn’t go crazy enough to dock his pay after receiving a complaint call.

Leaving work unauthorized is a very serious issue.

Hurriedly rushing to the inpatient department of the Endocrinology Department.

To be honest, it seemed rather shabby here.

His first impression was that it was small, taking up only about a third of this floor.

No choice; hospital wards and office spaces are already tight, and allocation is based on need.

The Endocrinology Department has fewer patients, less business volume, and weaker revenue, so they can only endure such squeezed conditions. Compared to some departments that have severely dwindled and were eventually merged into others, this is considered better.
